Letter from the Principal - Brad Toole
Dear Parents,
We would like to wish all our Father’s an enjoyable day on Sunday for ‘Father’s Day’. We are really excited to be able to celebrate with our Father’s Day Brekky and Liturgy on Friday. Enjoy some time with the kids over the weekend and know that we appreciate all that you do to support your children through their journey at All Hallows. We look forward to hearing about how you spent the day next week. Brekky will be served from 8.00 - 9.00am with prayer on the basketball court from 9.15am.
This week is Australian Teacher Aide/Support Staff Appreciation Week. It is a great opportunity to recognise the staff that are the ‘backbone’ of our school. We are truly blessed to have Mrs Holland, Mrs O’Connell, Miss Irwin, Mrs Watts, Mrs Hensley, Mrs Kost, Ms Searle, Mrs Adams, Miss Thatcher and our casual staff Mrs Young to support the teaching staff and students at All Hallows. If you see any of the staff around school this week be sure to wish them a fantastic week!

Monday 13th October - Monday Term 4 Week 1 (Students return Tuesday 14th October)
Friday 7th November - Friday Term 4 Week 4
End of Year Presentation
After careful consideration we have made the decision to hold this year's awards ceremony during the school day instead of during the evening. The reason we have made the decision is we want to give all students the opportunity to be at the awards ceremony. We have noticed a trend over recent years of less students attending the night time presentation evening. We will evaluate after the Presentation afternoon this year.
Our Awards Assembly will be held on Thursday 11th December at 1pm at Memorial Hall.
